Antyamerykanizm jako istotny element Arabskiej Wiosny
Anti-Americanism as a Significant Element of the Arab Spring

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the occurrence of anti-Americanism in the Muslim world and its influence on US-Arab relations. Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring, this phenomenon has been an important issue in this region. Anti-regime revolts evolved immediately into anti-American uprisings, as evidenced by the brutal assassination of the American Ambassador Chris Stevens and three US diplomats in Benghazi. This tragic event showed that anti-Americanism is not the exclusive domain of terrorist organizations anymore; it is an attitude of ordinary citizens. Al-Qaeda, apparently playing second fiddle, continues to operate by promoting propagandistic magazines that stir up hatred towards the United States.
